Abstract
We have described a method which selectively measures radioactive inorganic mercury in the presence of organomercurial compounds labeled with the 203Hg isotope. This method may be used for the study of the cleavage of the carbon-mercury bond in animals injected with labeled organomercurial compounds. The principle of the method is the selective reduction of inorganic mercury by SnCl 2 to elemental vapor. The latter is swept from the sample by an air stream collected on a specific absorbent, Hopcalite, where the radioactivity is determined by γ scintillation counting.
